feat(YouTube Music): Disable album art on the lock screen background

[MasterIO02]

Application

YouTube Music

Issue

This patch would allow users to disable the album art on the lockscreen background

Patch

On Android 11, the system-wide option to disable the album art on the lockscreen has been removed. It is dependent on the application to show it or not (and on the Android flavor, OxygenOS for example has it forced enabled for every application if the application does not have a toggle, so any thumbnail in the media control would go to the lockscreen). YouTube Music does not include a toggle to disable this functionality, so this patch could add a toggle to disable this feature, or just straight-up disable it.

Motivation

Album arts are generally in very low quality and zoomed-in, so they spoil the lockscreen background. Some musics have NSFW album arts, which users would not like to see when unlocking their phone.

I get it patched and works fine, but I know nothing about Revanced patches. Hope some dev. can make a proper patch.

bruh, why not make a "low priority" label instead? what's the need for clearing out old issues without resolving them? you can just leave them open and wait for someone to make a PR

The issue is not deleted. If anyone cares they can look it up and make a PR as stated in my closing comment. As we don't plan this request anymore, the issue is closed.
